A 25-year-old Danbury, CT woman is facing a drunken driving charge after a recent traffic stop in Southeast, police say.

State troopers from the East Fishkill barracks arrested Diana Kobas at about 11:20 p.m. Friday. Officials stopped her because she was reportedly traveling at 72 mph in a 55-mph zone on westbound Interstate 84. 

Police say the defendant's blood-alcohol level was 0.11 percent. The legal limit is 0.08. They charged Kobas with misdemeanor driving while intoxicated and released her pending an appearance in Southeast Justice Court Tuesday.

Editor's note: The New York State Police provided this information. It does not indicate a conviction.
